napoleon versus duggen in the race for who will lead detroit out of bankruptcy. wayne county sheriff benny nap pallon and former county executive mike duggen were the only two to net enough votes in the mayoral runoff. what's amazing about duggen is he did it as a write-in and he ended up being the leading vote-getter as a write-in. obviously, he's got to be the heavy favorite there. coming up, new jersey senate candidate, we check in on his uphill challenge against the front-runner corey booker. first, today's trivia question. which presidential election and transition period resulted in the highest number of special senate elections in the last 60 years? you know, much of senators getting appointments, you get it, opening up senate seats, forcing special elections. first person to tweet the correct answer to @chucktodd and @dailyrundown. it's a fresh-over. we want you to eat some peaches and tell us what you think. they're really juicy. it must have just come from the farm. this right here is ideal for me. walmart works directly with growers to get you the best
